Globally Unique Identifier for terms

When creating new terms, some require the Local Property ID to be specified with the value of a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID).

Each term in the term store is assigned a unique identifier in the form of a GUID. This GUID can also be used for the local properties.

  4. Select the desired term set.

  5. Select the desired term.
